Dear Mom & Dad
I have arrived safely at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island and have been assigned to Platoon 4019, N Company, 4th Recruit Training Batallion, which is comprised of 75 recruits from various parts of the United States. We will live and train together for the next three months until our tentative graduation date of June 17, 2011.
If there is an emergency while I am gone, the quickest way to contact me is through the AMERICAN RED CROSS, www.redcross.org, or (202)303-4498. I will only be allowed to take emergency leave for certain emergencies; for example, an immediate family member has died or is expected to die soon. You should still contact the American Red Cross if you want to inform me of a situation; however keep in mind this does not mean that I will be able to leave recruit training. Do not try to call me directly as this will slow down the process of me being placed on leave. Please, save this letter, the American Red Cross may need some of the information listed within this letter.
I receive Mail everyday except Sundays and holidays. Please, send mail First Class (REGULAR) or Priority Mail. Do not send any Express, Insured, or Certified Mail; due to scheduled tgraining, I won't be allowed to go to the Post Office to sign for such mail. In addition, I am NOT allowed to receive the following items:
1. CANDY OR EDIBLE ITEMS

3. ALCHOHOL/ILLEGAL OR PRESCRIPTION/OVER THE COUNTER DRUGS

6. GAMBLING DEVICES (PLAYING CARDS, DICE, ETC)
7. RADIOS OR CAMERAS
8. FLAMMABLE MATERIALS (LIGHTERS, MATCHES, FIREWORKS, ETC)

Only Letters are authorized due to the limited space in our living area. To ensure that I receive my mail quickly, be sure to write my address exactly as it is below.
